It would probably be best if Adam Scott/Steve Williams didn't win this week. The sport couldn't take that post-match chat again.
Tiger Woods isn't going to win -- not after talking about how his season is a success because his knee doesn't hurt. Now he just needs a pain-free knee to be happy? No majors, no chipping away at the Nicklaus record? Not even a Wells Fargo or Waste Management run-of-the-mill tournament? Wow.
So let's go against the grain a little bit and give tennis a little love by picking Rory McIlroy to cap off a brilliant, pain-free, winning-heavy summer with another major.
The tennis part? He seems to be dating top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki. It must be serious because nicknames are being created -– WozIlroy, Mcniacki -– and that only happens to really serious famous couples, such as Brangelina.
Dating a famous tennis player didn't work out so well for another top-notch golfer. Sergio Garcia never did much when he was attached to Martina Hingis. But Hingis was the winner in that couple. Wozniacki may be No. 1, but she hasn't come close to winning a Grand Slam event. So McIlroy it is.
